Professor: Hillary’s Supreme Court Will Destroy 2nd Amendment

At a Heritage Foundation event in Washington this week, George Mason University Professor Nelson Lund warned attendees that a Hillary Clinton presidency could put America’s Second Amendment freedoms in jeopardy. Lund said that the Supreme Court’s Heller decision was a good one, but that it left anti-gun liberals with plenty of room to maneuver.

“You have a right to keep some kind of handgun in your home for self-defense, but the Supreme Court has not gone any further than that,” Lund said. “If Hillary Rodham Clinton appoints Justice Scalia’s replacement, it’s quite likely that almost any form of gun control, except a complete ban on handguns, will be upheld.”

At the third presidential debate, Hillary embarrassed herself with a misleading lie about that decision, claiming that it centered around protecting “toddlers” in Washington, D.C. Of course, that’s ridiculous. The case was about the capital’s ban on handgun ownership, which was struck down by the court.

Hillary and other liberals have sharply criticized the decision and have expressed a desire to see the Second Amendment be more strongly regulated nationwide.

In his speech, Lund said that many leftists shared that view, which is antithetical to what the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Bill of Rights.

“This right is a vital element to the liberal order that our Founders handed down to us. They understood that those who hold political power will almost always strive to reduce the freedom of those they rule,” Lund said. “Many of the ruled will trade their freedom for empty promises of security. The Second Amendment is a device designed to frustrate the domineering tendencies of the politically ambitious.”

Hillary has insisted that she supports the Second Amendment, but that support is not evident in her platform. She wants to make gun manufacturers legally liable for shootings that occur with their products. She wants to ban so-called “assault weapons.” She wants to expand background checks and eliminate the mythical “gun show loophole.” And that’s just what she’s willing to say publicly. As we know from her own mouth, she believes that politicians should reserve the right to have a different opinion on the issues in private.

Just one of her Supreme Court nominations would give liberals the majority and give their interpretation of the Second Amendment a legally viable platform. It’s useless to speculate on how that would play out, but maybe it’s better that we don’t find out.

Jimmy Quick

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” This is a statement from a speech given by Benjamin Franklin that is representative of the core values upon which our nation was built.

The fact that many today have no knowledge of this statement, while many others couldn’t even read it because they do not speak English, is clear proof of our governments failure to provide the bare minimal care required to maintain a nation.

These people do not deserve your money, your efforts, our your allegiance, but when the time comes, they will deserve your bullets.

NEVER, EVER GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE.

Hillary Clinton is evil in the flesh. She is part of an organized crime family and can not be allowed to move into the highest office of the United States of America.

Get out and vote. America needs you now, more than ever, and May God Bless You All !!!

John Franco

So many reasons to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, as a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment the selection of Constitutional Conservative Supreme Court Justices is MY biggest reason. Our Founding Fathers had it right contrary to what Obama and Clinton might think!

Michael Dennewitz

Justice Scalia believed exactly as you and I do. And no one can convince me that he wasn’t physically eliminated. He and PLENTY of others, beginning with Cris Kyle..?

jimdarnall

In reality any judge that doesn’t uphold and defend the constitution should be impeached for not doing so. It should also be a criminal offence. I would go so far as to say it could be considered as treason againat our nation. Hillary, if becoming president, could also be charged with treason against our nation by the crimes she has committed putting the country’s security in danger. Of course none of these things will happen therefore a nation lost we will become. The birth of another 3rd world country. Vote Trump

jaybird

No one will be charged with anything unless a lot of pressure from the people comes forward and it has not in the past.

Jimmy King

This statement “In reality any judge that doesn’t uphold and defend the constitution should be impeached for not doing so. It should also be a criminal offence.” Shows that you do not understand the Constitution or Consitutional law

jimdarnall

Oh yes, but I do. They take an oath to protect and defend the wording of the constitution. When they start legislating law and politicizing their interpretations of the constitution they are out of touch with their dities. Judge Scalia made that point when the liberal judges went well beyond thier legal responsibilities on same sex marriage. Scalia knew these judges were over stepping their realm of power.They continue to create power that was never meant to be and impeachment for this should follow but won’t. By intended purposes the Judicial branch was guven the least of power just for this reason by the constitution creators. Laws can only be written and imposed by legislstion. Whether you or anyone else cares, judges are for confirmation and interpretation and cannot make their own laws.

Jimmy King

Clearly you have never studied Consitutional law. If you had, you would understand the decisions on same sex marriage But you need an understanding of the 3 step test and levels of scrutiny under the equal protection clause. You post proves your ignorance

jimdarnall

You must be a liberal not knowing truth when you see it. Scalia recognized the dangers of a liberal court system and losing its way as he wrote about it prior to his strange death. Obviously you don’t see it. If you don’t see these dangers, thank God you are not one of these judges. By the way, I have been through a study of the constitution and these current Supreme Court Justices are far from being constitutional. Liberalism will destroy a nation if unchecked.

Jimmy King

Like I said, you don’t understand constitutional law. Scalia didn’t see it, because he viewed everything through the tainted lens of Catholicism. His religious beliefs would never allow him to listen to the rational behind the ruling, so he refused to even consider it. A “study of the constituion” is not an understanding of consitutional law. If you don’t understand the balancing tests, if you don’t understand the equal protection clause, there is no way you can judge the Court’s decisions.

BARRY SOETERO

Judges don’t need any degree or training, they are appointed.!

Daniel Brofford

You are absolutely right. That is their oath to uphold the constitution and when they do not they should and would be impeached if our founding fathers were alive. They know what the constitution means and so do you.

BARRY SOETERO

Judges don’t need any degree or training, they are appointed!

Jimmy King

By your reasoning, Cheif Justice Roberts should be tried for treason

Barthel

They will never be able to enforce a hand gun ban or a Federal gun registry.

jaybird

They can make it hard for gun manufactures to get the metals needed to make bullets and guns. Look at CA gun laws.
I read an article a couple of weeks ago titled “How much power does the President have on gutting the 2nd amendment”. I will try and find it.

Jr1776

We celebrate the 4th of July, as a reminder of earning our independence from an oppressive Government. Just a reminder to to any current or soon to be administration, there’s plenty of room on the calendar for another Holiday.

Great news! Indictments against the Clintons are coming very soon!
The US Intelligence community has had enough of the Clintons and their coup that they’ve been running through the Clinton Foundation and leaked the emails to Julian Assange. Obama has been threatened with arrest for treason, so he’s ditching the bitch. Killary’s game is over!

OnTheRoad

You just heard this? I hope you’re right. Hitlery should be jailed for treason…along with Barry.

LibsRHaters

Found out about this late last night. Trump just announced it today from Florida. So strange how we have to get news from Trump. Let’s just hope that the impending indictments can unshackle the mouths of the Clinton propaganda channels we know as the Lamestream Media and get back to some level of truth again. Could happen!

OnTheRoad

Hitlery shouldn’t even be allowed to run for POTUS. She’s done so many things against OUR country. It’s unbelievable what’s coming out about her.

Not going to look good for Killary if a mass of bodies are found. I hope she goes down in flames for all to see. Have the TV camera’s there when she and cohorts are handcuffed and replay it for a week.

David in MA

MOLON LABE, HILLARY, MOLON LABE!
(and do it in person)

honest glenn

Hitlery can come & try to get “Good Americans'” Guns but the barrels will be “Red Hot” to the touch & ALL AMMO will have been expended!!!!!!! That’ll never happen here in America! Too, many Veterans have fought for this right & against a bigger communist foe then BO & the Clinton’s! Semper-Fi!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Dennewitz

And as a disabled Vietnam vet, by God, all FIVE of mine are loaded, locked and ready. I couldn’t get another box of hollow points in the closet if I tried!! ?

honest glenn

Good for you, Michael! I was a Marine in tanks & was wounded at Con Tien in the Northern I Corp area. I know EVERY VETERAN WILL STAND & FIGHT to save this country! Thanks for your service to AMERICA!!!

Michael Dennewitz

But what saddens the heart – one former president, years ago predicted that this country would be destroyed FROM WITHIN, and it’s all coming to pass. God himself has backed away and watching because we have left him out. He will NOT interfere until we scream, “GOD HELP US!” ???

honest glenn

Well said, Michael! AMEN!!!!!!!!

David

thanks for your service hope it don’t get do that but we will if we have to

Sgt. York

Slop jar Annie has to win first before she can start trying to induce a Civil Uprising. She might think she is the grand Dictatoe then but I’ll assure you she will fin that’s a Clinton communist dream as American Pstriots will not just set there as she tries to ruin Our America. We really don’t care if she gets all of Ovomits Secret Muslim Army,the blue bellies of the UN OR some other MuslimBrotherhood gangsters in her pocket it will get emptied by Americans.

SouthernPatriot

The Liar-in-Chief not only lies in debates, she is lying to her supporters and to America. Why vote for the Marxist-in-Chief who will import 5X the number of unvetted Muslim rapeugees and terrorists at taxpayer money to bring them here and plant them in unsuspecting communities and then more taxpayer money to pay for their total living expenses for as long as she wants.

TRUMP IS ALL LIFE HILLARY IS A DEATH WISH.
The word is that Wikileaks will release 33,000 Hitlery emails. If that happens head for the hills. May you never live to hear those words. Trump should be singing Abba’s Take a chance on me.Now we hear the weather channel will not report election results. However they will dedicate a tune to Hitlery. Everybody sing Don’t know why there is no sun up in the sky. Hitlery’s coming Stormy Weather Since she went away the blues had upped and left me. Now she’s back to stay the DOJ will get me.
El trumpo will get the the good woman vote, the helicopter mom’s vote (they saw Benghazi). THE GRAND MA VOTE (YOU CAN’T BULL SHET GRANDMA.
Trump will get the gospel black vote. Gospel people can spot pharisees a mile away. They saw the all inclusive white party. Not a black in sight. No color but blanco. One socialist and one Mala femina. They don’t like a muzzle of silence. They shout for Jesus. Latinos are big family people also.
Trump will get the God and country vote. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is an inalienable right given to us by God. It is a sin to destroy his creation and sell body parts for capital gains. Never forget the soul is God’s black box and returns to God to testify. That is why Ted Kennedy is in boiler no 3. ALONG WITH THE ROE V WADE SUPREME COURT.
The demo commos will tell you Trump will start a nuclear war but the democrats never would. Unless you count WWII, KOREA, NAM, MIDDLE EAST PLUS BENGHAZI.
Democrats get you into war and leave you to die promising that they will never run again. TRUMP won’t start a nuclear war because he is against global worming.
One Iranian, Pakistani, North Korean, Russian or Chinese nuke will raise the temperature 30,000 degrees. Jimmy Carter who gave us the Iranian revolution and lost our only American soil in Teheran would not let the nuclear football be within 9 miles of him. Hey Waqbahaji where is Carter now? Thirty miles away from the football.
President Pinocchio pants sent his nuclear codes to the dry cleaner. Omar’s 3 hour cleaning and 10 minute nuking. He had two chances to get Bin laden and decided to leave Osama for Bush. Can we see the donation list from Bin Laden group?
Never can happen Happens all the time. Coincidence is two planes hitting two towers a half hour apart. Trump says a strong military keeps us all alive and being that no one wants to die for their country but 1%. How about we give the real Americans all the tools they need to keep us safe and complaining. More whine anybody?
If you put 20 trillion on your credit card. What kind of payback deal could you get? We need an entrepeneur with two big liberty bells. Someone who does not telegraph his punches. A DOER NOT A DUCKER. A BUILDER OF THE NATION NOT THE GREAT DIVIDER.
A GOD AND COUNTRY AMERICAN NOT A GRADUATE FROM THE SAUL ALINSKI SCHOOL OF COMMUNISM. TRUMP IS THE TERMINATOR OF TERMITES.
VOTE TRUMP AND LIVE. HEY FBI ONE WORD EMAIL SEARCH “BENGHAZI”

Alleged Comment

LOL!

Sorry, but the 2nd Amendment cannot be infringed because like the Constitution itself is a political right granted to it’s citizens. The Supreme Court is a political entity of the Constitution and denying any right will nullify the Supreme Court itself. It cannot exist as a self-defeating Constitutional entity.

As Spock would say, it is illogical.

Robbert Hoekstra Azusa

Do to her before she can do to us. Destroy HER.

Jimmy King

This “professor” holds a position on the faculty of the University that is endowed for $1 million by the NRA.

Can you take anything this hack says seriously. I am a gun owner and a hunter, but the NRA stopped representing people like me long ago. The sole purpose of the NRA is to operate as a lobbying arm of the gun manufacturers and to sell more guns. Thats why they ran this huge scare campaign when Obama was elected that he was going to “take your guns” I still have my guns. I still can buy more. I can still by ammo. Use your brain people

Obie Miller

Should even one more liberal justice be confirmed in the U.S.Supreme Court, I fear that America will not survive!

Alan404

During the fairly recent past, notwithstanding Heller and the Chicago ruling that arose from it, we have seen a narrowing of what were previously taken to be constitutional protections, or so it seems to me. I surmise, wrongly I hope, that a Clinton presidency and a Democratically controlled Senate will see a worstening of the above described situation, an increased narrowing of constitutional rights, with particular attention and effort directed to making hash out of Second Amendment guarantees. Of
course, all of the above will be “for your own good” and or “for the children”‘ as the song will likely run.
Who could possibly oppose anything that is “for the children”. I’m not sure that I have all that much trust in Trump, however as I doubt he will become president, he and what he might do are academic matters, the battle between Civil Rights and “government” will involve the fight between the citizenry and a Clinton Administration, a battle in which I expect Civil Rights and Constitutional Rights will come out second best, if not worse. When and if such a juncture is reached, what will we hear from those so concerned individuals who, in their rush to imbibe in the opium of “doing it for the children” or some such nonsense allowed Hillary and Company anywhere near the reins of power, or worse yet, who provided the margin needed for her election.

For those who have gotten to this point, thanks for bearing with me.

Bishop351

Funny how Hillary was quick to approve a record number of arms deals to the Middle East for a Clinton Foundation”donation” yet wants to limit the 2nd Amendment. Liberals simply refuse any type of logical projection based on reality. They will be the first ones to whine when the rest of their rights disappear.

Walter Flatt

THIS WILL CAUSE BLOOD SHED, ALONG WITH ANY TRY FOR A MUSLIM INVASION. A LAW WAS PASSED IN 1952 BANNING ALL MUSLIMS.

FROM A KOREAN WAR VET., 51/53, A CHRISTIAN., AND THE NEW AMERICAN PARTY. TRUMP ALL THE WAY.

DO MORE THAN WRITE ON HERE. COPY & FORWARD THIS TODAY AND MILLIONS CAN BE REACHED BY TUESDAY, IF ALL WILL COPY AND FORWARD.

REMEMBER THE SUPREME COURT, THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT.

IF YOU ARE FOR THIS, YOU ARE TRYING TO DESTROY MY COUNTRY.

Walter Flatt

OF COURSE SHE IS OUT TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY, WHERE DID SHE GET HER MILLIONS, FROM MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

FROM A KOREAN WAR VET 51/53, A REG. DEM. ALL MY LIFE, BUT WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN SET UP FOR A TRY AT A MUSLIM INVASION OF THIS COUNTRY BY, HILLIARY, OBAMA, KERRY, SORROS AND THE BIASED MEDIA. READ ALL THE WHYS BELOW.

IF YOU HAVE THE GUT5, GOOGLE THE BELOW AND LISTEN TO ALL AND SEND IT TO ALL YOU KNOW.

WHY STOP THE TANK AND PLANE SHIPPMENT TO EGYPT, WHEN THEIR ARMY KICK THE RADICALS OUT?

WHY DID OUR GOVERNMENT SEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO HELP THE RADICALS IN IRAN, A COUNTRY OUT TO DESTROY US?

WHY ARE WE SENDING BILLIONS TO ARAB COUNTRIES, AND LETING OUR COUNTRY GO TO POT?

WHY DONT THEY ENFORCE THE LAW BARRING ALL MUSLIMS FROM THIS COUNTRY?

WHY IS THE MUSLIM MAJOR IN TEXAS LIVING THAT KILLED 14 SOLDIERS AND WOUNDED A LOT MORE?

WHY ARE THEY RELEASING ALL MUSLIMS IN CUBA TO GO BACK INTO ACTION TO KILL OUR SOLDIERS?

WHY DONT WE HANG ALL MUSLIMS CAUGHT AND BURY THEM WITH PIG PARTS, LIKE GENERAL PERSHING DID IN THE PHILLIPENS?

WHY WAS OBAMA ALLOWED TO SWEAR IN CARLOYN WALKER AS JUDGE IN BROOKLIN USING THE QURAN?

WHY ALLOW ILLEGALS TO FLOOD OUR COUNTRY WHEN THEY COST MORE PER YEAR THAN THE IRAQ WAR.

I SAY, ARM ALL OUR TROUPS TO PREVENT A MUSLIM TAKEOVER. THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I CAN TAKE 100 AND TAKE ANY BASE IN 1 HOUR.

BETTER COAT ALL YOU AMMO WITH PIGS BLOOD OR GREASE, LET THE WORLD YOU ARE DOING SO.

JUST PRAY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS ELECTED AND IS ABLE TO TAKE OVER AS OUR PRESIDENT.

GOOGLE THE NEW CLINTON CHRONICLE 2015 AND YOU JUST MIGHT KNOW WHY.

BELOW IS A GOOD REASON WHY I BELIEVE THAT A TAKEOVER TRY IS POSSIBLE. HOW CAN THE BIASED NEWS SAY OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM.

THE LAST WHY, WHY DONT THE BIASED NEWS MEDIA REPORT ALL THIS???????????

A vote for CLINTON is a vote for big-business, wall –street, big –banks, Lobbyist, special interest groups, and countries like Iran, and Saudi-Arabia, (The for-mentioned gave the Clinton’s hundreds of millions of dollars, and now she owes them), whereas, a vote for Trump is a vote that gives the country back to the people; to essentially, go back to the fundamental principles this country was originally founded on.

Unless the constitution is amended the 2nd will stand as we the people will not give up our guns. Hillary can issue all the executive orders she wants. They don’t trump the constitution. Hillary(and her ilk) is why we have the 2nd amendment in the first place.

Prof. Lund, God gave us those rights, and they are inalienable—-NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM AWAY>

THERE IS NO MORE HILLARY,SHE WILL BE GONE AND NOT FORGOTTEN FOR HER EVIL SERVICE TO AMERICA.!

Ralph H Moran

Old news Hillary isn’t going to have a pick for SCOTUS

gerald Hughes

We have heard all of this before, about commonsense gun laws.
We heard it from Pol Pot, Idid Amin, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Kim Il Jong, Josef Tito and Josef Stalin.
They all wanted universal registration, for the safety of the citizenry.
They all got it.
Within 3 years, they had confiscated all weapons.
Within a year after that, they passed laws that made it illegal to say nasty things about the government
This group is responsible for the death of about 22 million people, mostly their own citizens.
There is another group that agrees with them, a group of nations, they have already confiscated all weapons,
Australia, Canada, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
An astounding coincidence took place, all of these nations passed laws that make it a crime to say something nasty about the government.
I mean they had to didn’t they, when the liberal goverment of Germany started bringing the rapist, killer Muslims in to assault and rape German women they couldn’t have the German citizenry fighting back when they used water cannon on citizens protesting these crimes.
Liberal dem bloodsuckers, our founders saw you ersatz life forms coming over 200 years ago.
They gave us the Bill of RIGHTS, then, they nailed it to the wall of every government office with the 2nd Amendment.
Continue to trifle with either, at your own cnsiderable peril.
We are getting extremely tired of talking to you about this, there is a way to put a stop to it, once and for all, keep it up, you are likely to find out, what, it is.
